Keeping House Numbers Visible

12/01/2025 - As many of us dress up our community with festive holiday decorations, it is absolutely important that you do not cover up your house numbers. This is primarily for safety reasons to enable first responders to find your home. This is also aids package and food delivery companies in locating you. If numbers are covered, you may be asked to remove decorations to make your house number visible.

HOA Meeting Minutes Available

09/19/2025 - The minutes from the September 4th meeting were emailed to all residents today. This information is also available on the "HOA Info" page on this website.

Walking Trial Cleared

11/08/2025 - Many thanks to Armand Minutillo (143 WBD-F), Marty Hurwitz (96 WBD-P) and Dave Wilson (61 WBD-P) for clearing leaves from our walking trail. Thanks also to Dave Paul (37 WBD-F) for loaning his leaf blower for the clean up.

If you haven't been on the walking trial at the back side of our development, it is a wonderful jewel exclusive to members of tour community. Check it out.

Trash and Recycling Changes

12/01/2025 - As discussed at our last HOA meeting, we are changing haulers for trash and recycling from AJ's to CWPM. A few changes to note:

• CWPM will deliver your new 64-gallon trash & recycling totes on Monday 12/15/2025. This means you will have four totes (CWPM & AJ's) for a short while. If you cannot accommodate all four in your garage, you can store two outside on the side of your garage or in your backyard during this two week period only.

• AJ's will pick up its trash & recycling totes on Monday 12/29/2025. This also will be the last trash pickup by AJ's. Even though it is a trash pickup day, you must have both of the AJ's trash and recycle totes at your curbside. If you will be away, have someone put both totes out curbside for you or you may incur a fee for the totes.

• Our new pick-up day for trash with CWPM will be every Friday beginning on 1/2/2026. We are still waiting for confirmation on when recycling will start. Once known, it will be communicated by the HOA Secretary.

• CWPM will only pick up the contents inside your trash and recycling totes. Any items set on the ground beside the totes will not be picked up.

Snow/Ice Removal Information

12/01/2025 - Our snow/ice removal contractor Ali's will access the needs of our community in advance of, and based upon the anticipated conditions of each impending snow/ice event. Some items to note:

• Roads are pre-treated as conditions warrant.

• Clearing roads are the top priority followed by driveways, front walkways and lastly sidewalks.

• The volume of ice melt applied to driveways, front walkways and sidewalks will be as deemed appropriate by Ali's.

• Ali's has been made aware not to pile snow in a manner that impedes driving in our community as was done last year.

• As needed, snow will be piled in the small stone sections of the common parking areas and one common area parking space.

• Willow Brook residents are asked not to approach Ali's workers during snow removal so that the workers may complete their tasks uninterrupted. This insures the safety of both our residents and the Ali's workers.

• Any questions or concerns associated with a snow/ice event should be addressed with Armand Minutillo via email (vp@willowbrook-hoa.org) or phone/text 860-944-0491. Your cooperation will enable us to effectively and quickly assess issues so they can be properly elevated to Ali's.

Parking for Willow Brook Holiday Celebration

11/30/2025 - As a reminder, our 2025 Holiday Celebration is coming up on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at Bistro Twenty 4 from 5:00PM-8:00PM. Based upon the RSVPs received by our Social Committee, there should be about 55 people in attendance.

Bistro Twenty 4 is located on Whiting Street in Plainville, very close to the Municipal Center where we have held our HOA meetings. There is plenty of parking in the back lot behind the restaurant. Take your first left after the restaurant onto Maple Street and the back lot is on your left. There is a back door to enter the restaurant from that parking lot.
